    No other smartphone SoC supports AV1 encoding, not the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, Dimensity 9300, or Exynos 2400

      Interesting. Do we know why? Av1 is around for quite a few

        Because there is no need for now compared to cost and efficiency.

        Decoding - yes and I believe the last gen has that because streaming services are switching to AV1. However, only creators really would stream and make use of the encoding features.

        Sorry, that was just a quote from the article. You’d have to ask Chip manufacturers why they’re not including this hardware encoder/decoder.

        its computationally intensive, so for platforms where battery life is a significant factor, its prioritized less.
